‘Dark Knight Rises’ was most watched movie trailer of 2012, behind 2 ‘Call of Duty Black Ops 2’ video game trailers
Google released some YouTube data for 2012 and the big winners are Batman and a video game.
YouTube stats released Thursday revealed that Activision’s “Call of Duty Black Ops 2” video game trailers trumped anything and everything out of Hollywood.
The top movie trailer was “The Dark Knight Rises” beating out “Skyfall” and “Ted,” but still millions and millions behind the “Black Ops” viewership.
Only NBC’s “Revolution” put Television in the Top 10.
“CODBO II” had 4 in the Top 10. The Top 2 clips combined garnered nearly 75 million views.
YouTube bases its rankings on how many times a clip was viewed, how long people stayed with it, and how many people found the video by searching for it instead of clicking on an ad.
